. >> guest: the term is from roger williams, sold liberty was his great thing. for me it is the right to reach, to hold, exercise, to change, and to share what you believe based on the dictates of conscience. that is easy to say that you can see all sorts of faults views. for example there were several american leaders a while back to talk about freedom of worship and that is quite inadequate. every dictator allows freedom of worship, what goes on in your head when your mouth shut between your two years. that is not free exercise as madison put out. or you can see in much of our world today where religion is despised and dismissed, religious liberty is discounted. there are many people whose a religious liberty is not for everyone. freedom of conscience and fought and religion is for secular world views too, for everybody whether super natural or naturalistic. >> we frequently delved into the history of the american republic and in one intriguing treatment of that founding era, you reminded me that in this country we frequently referred to mr. jefferson's metaph

we also have roger williams from texas, 25th congressional district. mr. williams. mr. williams: thank you. mr. speaker, pressure is mounting on president obama and harry reid to get rid of obamacare. even senate democrats like joe manchin are starting to listen to the people who sent them to congress. americans don't want the law. texans don't want the law. my district doesn't want the law. it's easy to he see why. this week reported by the man tanian institute revealed that the president was lying when he said americans will see a $2,500 decrease in their premiums. the average health care premium in 2013 for a 27-year-old male was $91. under obamacare it's $139, a 53% increase. that's frightening. this study shows 12 states will see an approximate 100% increase in their premiums, many higher. this is one of the worst pieces of legislation in my lifetime. it hurts families, it cripples

so we began with roger williams. we move all the way to what is unfolding in the least. we return to the ancient texts and to the great enduring values so that we can look ahead in the 20 terse century to a true and global public square. join me and nothing -- thanking dr. os guiness.

this year we had roger williams that produced a film called "god loves uganda" and how they can be subjected for capital punishment simply for who they are and we have accomplished so much in america with marriage and with dome an and we need to help more across the shores. >> my question to you is how do you think operationally staff wise, management wise how do you think it's doing, the organization? >> well, the organization brought in a lot of money this year. i think that it had a lot of reasons, one, the economy is improving, two, the marriage issue was a big deal. prop 8, this is the home where all that started. i do believe that the sponsors realized no matter how to decisions were going to go that this was going to be a million people in san francisco. so sponsors did come to us and i have reservations on how sponsor fulfillment was done. i have received a bunch of phone calls from sponsors who were not pleased personally because i know them. operationally i wish the funds had come in sooner because i might have been able to procure talent early on. by the time the funds arrived, it

. >>> joj carter roger williams returned monday promising to right a wrong. >> the wheels of justiceturned slowly too slowly. >> they kept silent about the man who was responsible for taking 13 lives on post. >> we have been reluctant to do anything at this point that would benefit major has hassan's defense. >> during a memorial service shortly after the shooting president obama said those who died were victims of a war. the department of defense said it was a case of workplace violence. monday morning the republicans announced legislation will be filed as an act of terrorism. >> workplace violence designation favors political vie loefrns truth and justice. >> it would make the military strijs eligible for a purple heart. civilians would receive a similar ar ward. for the families it means increased benefits. >> we are not here for us we are here for the soldiers to get the combat status the medical help they need that's why we are here today. >> the goal is to bring the legislation up for a vote lart this fall. >> it is now 19 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up next on "t

it's being sponsored by texas senator john cornyn and texas representatives john carter and roger williamss, saying that major nadal hasan sentenced to death last week was motivated by an ideology of is islamic extremism proving himself to be a terrorist and traitor, very key terms in that. listen now to john cornyn. >> it is very important that we not be -- we not fall into this sense of political correctness that keeps us from calling this incident what it was and recognizing that the battlefield is not just in far off lands like afghanistan and iraq, the battle is here at home as well. >> here's the important point. if this legislation passes, it would provide the benefits retroactively. it would maximize insurance coverage, it would give them tax breaks as well as combat related special compensation and the injury rehabilitation pay, which is a very key point, because that was taken away, so this would retroactively put that back in place. it would also require the secretary of the army to award purple hearts to all the soldiers who were killed or wounded and for the civilian victims,
